As for dual audio, I personally think NoA is aiming for minimal effort, change "armour" to armor, turn on NTSC for 480i mode and that's it. Removing it would be too much work(programming and testing wise).

On the other hand if removing it ensures better performance and fewer issues they may use that as a reason to cut it out. Guess it'd give the European version more value if they did that too, though it'd piss off people here.

Come to think of it when I was playing why did Sharla always end up in a bikini......

for all the hype this got i'm so so glad it's coming to NA. between xenoblade and skyward sword i will actually have some firm reasons to get a wii aside from paper mario and the like. the best part is i'll be back to work so i'll be able to afford the black wii i've had my eye on. worst part is i'll be back to work so i won't be able to play it as much.

That makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Since when have either the US or Canada ever gotten a game while the other didn't?

I bet they're too cheap to print French/English guides. :P

This may be it. Almost all of Nintendo's manuals as of late have become bilingual on consoles, I could see them not wanting to make a French one and thus not bothering. GameStop exclusivity probably doesn't help either there, just because it closes off everyone but EBGames/GameStop.

I actually wonder if GameStop may be partially to thank for the game even coming here? An exclusivity doesn't seem like a particularly good idea unless either they helped grease the wheels, or part of the reason it wasn't being brought here in the first place was that other retailers (or at least Walmart?) didn't want to stock it, and so when it was shown people here DID want it GameStop was the only one that jumped? Either way it doesn't leave the sour taste in my mouth the Walmart Chibi-robo exclusive did (or the blue Wii on Black Friday).
